Wow. That’s really cool! Just think of all the cool planet images you can make with this technique. I must have flubbed something somewhere, as applying the metal texture layer in the channels panel didn’t produce the raised bump effect. Maybe it didn’t work because I’m using CS4?

I’ll try it again. Even if I can’t make it work, it’s still WAY COOL!!!
